The Top 20 Casino Markets in the United States
There's an article in the Chicago Sun-Times today about the possibility of expanding Chicago area casinos since they're doing big business. The typical see-saw of "experts" balancing tax revenue with social costs argument is displayed endlessly.
One thing that did catch my eye was an uncredited list of the top U.S. Casino markets in the side bar. Not exactly what I would've thought...
TOP U.S. CASINO MARKETS
1. Las Vegas Strip: $6.689 billion
2. Atlantic City, N.J.: $5.208 billion
3. Chicago area, Ind./Ill.: $2.595 billion
4. Connecticut: $1.734 billion
5. Detroit, Mich.: $1.303 billion
6. Tunica-Lula, Miss.: $1.252 billion
7. St. Louis, Mo./Ill.: $990.98 million
8. Reno-Sparks, Nev.: $939.50 million
9. Boulder Strip, Nev.: $929.70 million
10. Shreveport, La.: $847.18 million
Of course the Wall Street Journal has the same listing in an article about Kansas mulling casinos. They go to the mat and list the top 20 markets, and source the numbers to the American Gaming Association and The Innovation Group.
